[ laughter ] >> but the big surprise tonight for the man the president calls his brother. >> for the final time as president i am pleased to award our nation's highest civilian honor, the presidential medal of freedom. >> awarded with distinction, the first time mr. obama has done so. it was a moment that moved delaware's native son to tears. >> i can say i was part of -- part of the journey of a remarkable man who did remarkable things for this country. i don't deserve this. but i know it came from the president's heart. >> only three others have received the medal of honor with distinction -- pope john paul ii, president ronald reagan and general colin powell. friends of former congressman shaka fattah are waiting for word back from the white house tonight.

night. but there's a cold front on the way. the warm air ahead of it, the northwest winds with the colder air behind it and those winds will be felt all day long tomorrow. and that's going to knock those temperatures down. the feels-like temperatures now in the upper 50s. by morning 41 in philadelphia, 33 in pottstown. so if it's not told when you get outside first thing, it will be colder later on during the day it won't warm up, it will get colder. certainly going to feel colder. by later tomorrow night if you're headed out friday night, it's cold. feeling like the 20s but not the single digits like last weekend. saturday all day it's feeling like it's in the 20s. now what about any kind of threat of snow? this is the front itself with a few sprinkles. no big deal. this is the system coming in for saturday. not well organized, not a lot of

moisture and happening during the daytime hours. with the temperatures marginal. so any snow as long as it's light would be likely to melt. look at the temperatures near or above freezing by midday and into the afternoon. still it would have to be a heavy burst to really stick on any kind of roads in the middle of the day with those marginal temperatures and remember how warm it is today and will be tomorrow. so i'm not too concerned about this yet. i wouldn't cancel any plans for saturday yet. but it will be chilly all day and then sunday not quite as bad. so here we go tonight. maybe a couple of showers with that one front. by tomorrow morning 36 in allentown, 37 quakertown. during the late morning temperatures not going up. it's a sunny day and it's not getting any better and then as we head through the weekend

saturday is the day, cloudy skies, colder weather, little bit of light snow, maybe a little bit of mixture jersey shore and delaware but it's not going to be that big a deal. >> all right, glenn. next at 11:00, a deep discount for the epipen. also ahead, local kids starting their day of service early. their efforts are next.

a major development in the cost of epipens, the life saving medicine that can treat allergic reactions. cvs announced it will offer its own version at a much cheaper price. you may recall last year a pharmaceutical company raised the price from $100 to $600. it eventually offered its own generic version for half the price but cvs says its version
